Rice Khichu

Preparation Time: 5 minutes. Cooking Time: 12 minutes. Serves 4.

Rice khichu, Gujarat is known for its many snacks that are a treat to the palate even while being friendly to the stomach! here is another easy to make, easily digestible afternoon snack from the kitchens of gujarat. However, serving it in the traditional way with oodles of raw oil can turn this healthy snack into a non-healthy one. Serve it by shaping with an interesting mould and top it with the sauce. Khichu remains soft when hot, hence, true to the name, relish it steaming hot. While adding flour, be quick in stirring to avoid the formation of lumps.
